⚡️(frontend) increase lobby polling interval on both sides

Increase the polling interval used by the lobby feature, on both the
waiting participant side and the moderator side.

The goal is to reduce the volume of requests the lobby generates,
trading a bit of data freshness for better performance.

It will de facto reduce pressure on the backend.

We will observe the impact in production, and revisit these
intervals if the delays turn out to be too aggressive.
